The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is running a competition to help educate the public about workplace safety.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Applicants should use publicly available government information (i.e., DOL\/OSHA data, NIOSH data, and other online government resources) to create an application or presentation that will educate young workers on the safety and health risks in real work scenarios.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Submissions should provide tools that demonstrate the importance of knowing about workplace safety and health hazards, and provide tools to understand their rights in the workplace.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Successful apps could take many different forms, such as: interactive and informative games, social or professional networks, or data visualization.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Submissions may be designed for internet browsers, smartphones, feature phones, social media platforms, or as native Windows or Macintosh applications.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A total of four prizes totaling no more than $30,000 will be awarded, including one grand prize, two category prizes, and one people\u2019s choice award prize. A single entry is eligible for winning more than one prize.<\/p>\n
